Rappers are really into the idea of working on their relationships. At least, that's what it looks like every time you turn on the hit VH1 show, Couples Therapy. Through the first three seasons, DMX and his wife Tashera Simmons, Too $hort and his on-again, off-again girlfriend Monica Payne, Flava Flav and his girlfriend Liz Trujillo, and Chingy and his girlfriend Temple Poteat have all appeared on the show. And earlier this week, VH1 announced that the fourth season of Couples Therapy will feature none other than Ghostface Killah and his significant other Kelsey Nykole. Who knew rappers loved the idea of reigniting love in therapy so much?!

We certainly didn't. But from the looks of things, it's pretty clear that rappers are going to continue to appear on Couples Therapy as long as the show is around. So to help the show's producers out, we came up with 10 other rappers who should make appearances on Couples Therapy. Disclaimer: Some of these rappers would likely never agree to be on the show. But then again, we never thought we'd see Ghostface on there.

The Rapper: Ice-T
His Significant Other: Coco Austin
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: Last year, a rapper from Las Vegas named AP.9 claimed that he had an affair with Coco. And he provided a mountain of evidence in an effort to prove it. Coco, of course, denied it, but Ice-T didn't seem happy with the way the situation played out. It'd be interesting to see them open up about their feelings on Couples Therapy. We don't know if there are any lingering feelings from the whole AP.9 thing. But if there are, this would be the place to work them out.

The Rapper: Jim Jones
His Significant Other: Chrissy Lampkin
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: Jim and Chrissy were the stars of the original Love And Hip-Hop and they continue to draw ratings for VH1 on their spinoff show, Chrissy & Mr. Jones. So why doesn't VH1 continue probing their relationship by asking them to appear on Couples Therapy, too? We don't see Jim going for it. But Chrissy seems to be able to talk him into things she's really into—like, you know, marriage!—so maybe she could get him to go on a couples retreat.

The Rapper: Juelz Santana
His Significant Other: Kimbella Vanderhee
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: Are these two even together anymore? It feels like every other week they're breaking up and then making up again. But regardless, they have kids together, so it couldn't hurt for them to work on their relationship a little bit more. And who knows? It could even help them decide once and for all whether or not they actually want to be together.

The Rapper: Soulja Boy
His Significant Other: Diamond
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: Let's be honest: Both of them stand to get a big career boost by making an appearance on a show like Couples Therapy. They've also never been shy about stepping in front of the camera together and putting their relationship out there for the world to see. So doing it for a reality TV show doesn't seem like it would be a problem.

The Rapper: Machine Gun Kelly
His Significant Other: Rachel Starr
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: MGK is a wild boy. Rachel Starr—who has filmed plenty of XXX movies—is a wild girl. So together, they're a wild couple. Who doesn't want to see how they would act together on a show like Couples Therapy?

The Rapper: Timbaland
His Significant Other: Monique Idlett Mosley
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: Timbo and his wife of five years announced that they'r getting divorced earlier this year. But their divorce isn't final yet. So why not give it one more shot on Couples Therapy? What do they have to lose?

The Rapper: Snoop Dogg
His Significant Other: Shante Broadus
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: You know who's a really, really strong woman? Snoop's wife. We have to imagine it isn't easy being married to a guy who loves to party as much as Snoop does. And we're sure it presents lots of problems within their marriage. So we'd love to see how they make it work, despite all of the issues that they've had in the past. All rappers could learn a thing or two from this couple.

The Rapper: Ja Rule
His Significant Other: Aisha Murray Atkins
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: Ja and Aisha are another hip-hop couple that have been together a long time. Ja also just got done serving some time in prison, which likely added an interesting dynamic to their relationship over the course of the last few years. So a show like Couples Therapy could help them rekindle what they had before Ja went away.

The Rapper: Joe Budden
His Significant Other: Tahiry Jose
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: We can probably already pencil this couple in for Season 5 or 6 of Couples Therapy, right? Right. They are clearly meant to be together. But they also can't seem to keep their relationship intact. So why don't they try to go and get some help for their issues? Like we said, it's only a matter of time before this happens.

The Rapper: Cam'ron
His Significant Other: Juju
Why They Should Appear On Couples Therapy: Do we really have to explain this one? If VH1 wants to triple their ratings, they'll book these two for Season 5 now. And we'll set our DVRs immediately.
